(Premise: No return to the original world)
The melodious sound of a piano drifted through the luxuriously decorated villa.
"Teacher Qin, this is a cheerful piece of music, but why do I feel that it has a slightly melancholic tone?"
"I'll start over." Qin Mingyue concealed the displeasure in her eyes, put on a bright smile, and danced her fingers on the piano keys.
After finishing the piece, Qin Mingyue turned to the person reclining on the sofa and asked, "Was it cheerful? Or was there a hint of melancholy?"
"It's so cheerful. Teacher Qin is indeed a famous pianist. I can feel the breath of spring."
At this moment, Lu Yuzhi came out of the kitchen, wearing an apron and carrying a plate of peeled pomelos.
The person on the sofa looked at Lu Yuzhi, their eyes filled with tenderness, "Yuzhi, I really like Teacher Qin's playing, and the baby likes it too. I felt him move just now."
"Really?" Lu Yuzhi placed the pomelo on the coffee table, squatted down, and pressed his hand against her slightly protruding belly.
Lu Yuzhi was overjoyed, "It seems like he's really moving."
Qin Mingming showed a look of disdain, "President Lu, President Li, a two-month-old fetus cannot possibly move."
"Really?" Li Peiyu looked at Qin Mingyue teasingly. "Teacher Qin, do you know so much because you've been pregnant before?"
"Li Peiyu, this is common sense." Qin Mingyue's voice rose a few decibels in annoyance.
"Teacher Qin, watch your tone." Li Peiyu looked at Lu Yuzhi again and said in a coquettish voice, "Honey, she's being mean to me. She seems to be upset."
Lu Yuzhi frowned, a cold glint in his eyes. "Qin Mingyue, you don't want your father's medical expenses anymore, do you?"
"President Lu, please be lenient. President Li, please be magnanimous. I am very grateful." Qin Mingyue nodded and bowed, acting obsequiously.
Lu Yuzhi continued, "A two-month-old fetus won't move, but my baby, born with a divine body, will move at two months."
"Yes, yes, Mr. Lu is right."
"What? Did I eat your rice? Which law did I break?" Lu Yuzhi persisted.
"I was wrong, Mr. Li."
Li Peiyu chuckled; she loved watching Lu Yuzhi coax her without distinguishing right from wrong. It was a pregnant woman's little whim; pregnant women had the privilege of being unreasonable.
Lu Yuzhi's gloomy expression dissipated when he heard Li Peiyu laugh. "Alright, thank you very much for Teacher Qin's service today. Remember to come for prenatal education at the same time tomorrow."
"Yes, Mr. Lu." Qin Mingyue retreated shakily, fleeing the villa as if her life depended on it.
Lu Yuzhi's mood brightened, and he affectionately fed Li Peiyu a pomelo, saying, "Baby, don't take it to heart."
Li Peiyu smiled, pursing her lips, and put the grapefruit segment near her mouth into her mouth.
Just then, the doorbell rang. The maid quickly went out to open the door.
Because Li Peiyu was pregnant and needed care, Lu Yuzhi hired several reliable maids. Meanwhile, Aunt Li stayed at the Lu family's old house to take care of Old Master Lu.
A moment later, Gu Yan pushed open the door and entered, with Wang Boyang following behind.
"Why did our eldest son suddenly come back?" Li Peiyu's voice was cheerful; she especially loved lively gatherings these days. After becoming pregnant, Lu Yuzhi had suspended her work, and life during her pregnancy was particularly boring. Whenever someone came to visit, she would be happy for half a day.
"How could you bear to come back from abroad? Did you bring a gift for your stepmother? Let me see, have you lost weight?" Li Peiyu rambled on, she was really bored and was using Gu Yan to relieve her boredom.
"Don't try to take advantage of me. Let's each keep our own business."
"Are you leaving again this time?" Lu Yu asked, feeding Li Peiyu another bite of pomelo.
"Come on, I came back in a hurry this time. I still need to go back to Y country to hand over my work. After that, I won't be leaving."
"That's great! You should come back and take over my shift right away."
"OK."
Gu Yan and Wang Boyang worked like oxen and horses to build their careers, while Li Peiyu and Lu Yuzhi retired early to enjoy life.
Li Peiyu gave Gu Yan and Wang Boyang a meaningful look, and asked with a hint of doubt, "Why did you two come together?"
Wang Boyang said, "I came to see you, but I ran into Gu Yan at the door."
Li Peiyu narrowed her eyes slightly, "Really? I don't believe it."
Wang Boyang was a little flustered. "Let me tell you about the company's recent situation."
Lu Yuzhi interrupted, "You guys go ahead. I'd like to talk to Gu Yan about a few of the group's projects."
"good."
Then Li Peiyu and Wang Boyang discussed matters downstairs, while Lu Yuzhi and Gu Yan discussed matters in the study upstairs.
Wang Boyang spoke methodically about the company's developments, and as Li Peiyu listened, her gaze fell on her neck, which felt like it was covered in hickeys.
"Are you in a relationship?" Li Peiyu interrupted the report.
"No, no." Wang Boyang's eyebrows twitched slightly, a hint of fear in his voice.
"On your neck," Li Peiyu reminded her.
"What?"
"A hickey".
"No, it was a mosquito bite."
"Oh." Li Peiyu nodded. "I don't believe it."
"Who did it?" Li Peiyu pressed.
Wang Boyang recalled the passionate night before, a slight smile curving his lips, a smile he couldn't suppress.
"Stop laughing! Who did it?"
A glint of light flashed in Wang Boyang's eyes; it seemed this was something he couldn't tell her yet. "I'll tell you later."
Li Peiyu joked, "It's quite mysterious."
